“Model” Citizen

Today will be my last day blogging with MichaMi, and before I depart I wish to impose upon you all a small bit of my infinite wisdom; this time on the world of modeling both in real life and in Second Life.  Today’s outfit is inspired by the idea of the blank canvas, anyone who has any real life modeling experience, watches any of the Top Model shows, or has any has any sense of what a blank canvas means in the world of fashion – should understand where I am going here:

All kidding and humor aside, I have brought you all some of my favorite and fiercest outfits from my arsenal of clothing in Second Life, but for my final post today – I hoped to introduce you to the side of me that you would most see if you were to bump into me on the grid today.  While I don’t necessarily consider myself a model in Second Life, I do take work from time to time when it is offered to me.  The smartest thing, in my opinion – that a model can do when seeking out work is to present themselves as a blank canvas.  For this outfit, I have taken a very basic white tank and paired it with a classic pair of dark jeans.  The jewelry is very simple, casual, and understated – the shoes are trendy and classy, but not flamboyant – and my hair is simply pulled back to from my face nicely without looking like I spent an hour trying to do it.  I have tried to keep the entire look very natural without looking forced which something that I try to accomplish in every outfit I wear anyway. 

My only other advice is: Go with what you know.  The Ether/Void skin from Starley and Ginny’s Deviant Nation line of skins is the skin that I built my shape for and when I am trying to put my best face forward, it is for sure the most accurate way that I wish to portray myself.  Dressing yourself doesn’t always have to be about noise and excess.  Sometimes even the most simple pieces of clothing can project “confident” and “sexy” while also saying “effortless” – which to me is the best message of all.

 Well everyone, this is it for me!  It’s been really wonderful sharing my holidays with you all and bringing in a New Year!  From this point forward the blog has officially be returned to Milla’s love and care – and from what I understand she’s ready to go – so, again – thank you all for receiving me so well and thank you all for your kind words – this has been a truly great experience.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

I know some of you have been asking whether or not I’ll be staying with MichaMi, and the answer is simple:  I’ll always be around if Milla needs me.  For now I do have my own blog, however it’s future is a bit uncertain – it can be found here for now, but I am strongly considering a re-design and a move fairly soon.  Take care everyone. :)

See you on the grid!
